Former times were quite restrictive, like those go-awful girdles ladies used to wear.

Thanks for sharing what I remember, but too many never knew about! Which I guess could be a good thing in a way

I wish this female generation could see this.
They don't appreciate what we all fought so hard for.
Gee, spoken like an old coot huh?
I remember I could never wear pants to school.
That floored my nieces. They asked what I wore, like I was naked or something.
I told them dresses or skirts were all we were allowed to wear.

And your prediction is right. Redskin Rules apply you know.
google it, if you don't know about Redskin Rules.
